At present, Google's offerings for streaming music are as follows:

Google Play Music and YouTube Red are subscriptions services for streaming music and the final tender a few profit for YouTube browsing in all-purpose. A YouTube Red subscription allows user to save music videos offline and removes ads from videos. The user also gets elite access to original shows. A Google Play Music subscription gives user the limitless music streaming (audio) on their phone. Oddly sufficient, a Google Play Music subscription at present gives user the access to YouTube Red as well, and vice versa. YouTube Music is free and open to all, but works like usual YouTube and the music videos can't be view offline.
